Recipe Introduction

My Husband Larry, kept telling me how his Polish Grandmother, would make these meat patties made out of Pork and Veal when he was younger, she would serve these, with Peaches and Cucumbers and Sour Cream, every Sunday. I had to search all over to find a recipe, and he said this is just like his Grammas. This does not taste like Meatloaf, it has it's own taste, and can be used any way you like, can be used as meatballs for spaghetti, or just eat the patties.

List of Ingredients

1 ½ lb. regular ground pork
1 finely chopped medium onion (¾ cup)
2 cloves garlic fine minced
1 whole egg (no need to beat)
1 small Kaiser bun

1 ½ tsp. fine ground black pepper
1 ¼ tsp. iodized table salt
1 tsp. Hungarian paprika
1 ½ tbs. dry parsley flakes or (about 4 stem Italian flat parsley, rinsed clean and finely chopped)
1 ½ tbs. breadcrumbs (to sprinkle lightly on the outside)
3 tbs. cold water
4 tbs. of Mazola Corn Oil for sautéing the onion
More Mazola Corn Oil for frying, about half thickness of the hamburgers.
(Please do not alter for Olive oil, butter or margarine)



Recipe

1. Place the Kaiser bun in a small bowl and pour the cup of cold water over it. Let it soak for a minute. When the bun absorbed the water, lift it up out of the bowl, squeezing all the water out of it, crumble it into tiny little pieces, as you add it to the ground meat.

2.Under medium heat, warm the oil.

3. Add the finely chopped onions, with a small pinch of salt.

4. Sauté until softened and translucent, about 3-4minutes, put aside to cool.

5. Place the ground meat in a medium size-mixing bowl; add the bun, salt, ground pepper, garlic, parsley flakes, Hungarian paprika, water and the egg.

6. Add the now cooled onion to the ground meat and mix together steadily, until you feel the ground meat and all of the ingredients, including the soaked bun, been completely integrated, together.

7. Allow combined ingredients to rest 25-30 minutes in the refrigerator to achieve a greater overall flavor.

8. Make small patties, somewhat thin and fry
